With the continuous increase in demand for bottled water not only in Saudi Arabia but also across the broader Middle Eastern markets and neighboring regions—including UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Jordan—water bottling factory projects have become among the most profitable and sustainable industrial ventures. Water is not a luxury—it's a basic necessity for homes, companies, and public places.
Whether it's small bottles for individual use or large containers for commercial purposes, water bottling plants help fulfill this growing need. Thanks to government incentives and industrial support, starting a water production line is now more accessible to both investors and beginners.
A feasibility study is a vital step before launching any industrial project. Before you purchase machines or hire staff, you should clarify key aspects such as:
You must understand the size of the market, price ranges of competitors (like Nova and Hana), and global trends in water processing and packaging technology.
| Item | Estimated Cost (SAR) |
|---|---|
| Land and Factory | 500,000 – 1,000,000 |
| Water Production Line Equipment | 187,500 – 1,875,000(according to different production capacity) |
| Licenses & Regulatory Approvals | 50,000 – 100,000 |
| Branding & Marketing | 100,000+ |
| Total Expected Investment | 1.2 – 2 million |
To create a compliant water bottling facility in Saudi Arabia, follow these steps:
Ideal factory locations are in designated industrial zones like the 2nd Industrial City in Riyadh or Jeddah's Industrial Area, close to safe water sources and major distribution routes.
You need:
Initial approval from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources
Approval from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA)
Municipal operating license
Water quality lab testing certificate
Your water bottling line should include:
Water Purification (filtration, RO, UV/Ozone disinfection)
Bottling Section (for different capacities)
Packaging (labeling, shrink wrapping, boxing, palletizing)
Storage (air-conditioned, clean, and dry)
To build a complete bottled water plant, you need:
Raw Water Pump:
Draws raw water from the source (e.g., well, river, or municipal supply) and pumps it into the purification system at the required pressure and flow rate.
Quartz Sand Filter:
Removes suspended solids, sediments, and larger particulate matter from raw water through physical filtration.
Activated Carbon Filter:
Adsorbs organic compounds, chlorine, odors, and other chemical impurities using activated carbon media.
Sodium Ion Exchange (Softener):
Reduces water hardness by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions (which cause scaling) with sodium ions through a resin bed.
Precision Filter:
Acts as a fine filtration stage, removing smaller particles (typically 1–5 microns) that may pass through earlier filters.
Dosing Device:
Injects precise amounts of chemicals, such as antiscalants, pH adjusters, or disinfectants, into the water stream.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems:
Uses semi-permeable membranes to remove dissolved salts, minerals, and other impurities (up to 99% of total dissolved solids) by applying high pressure to force water through the membranes.
UV and Ozone Sterilizers:
UV Sterilizer: Uses ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms by disrupting their DNA.
Ozone Sterilizer: Injects ozone gas (O₃) to oxidize and eliminate pathogens, organic compounds, and odors.
Pure Water Tank:
Stores the purified water produced by the system, maintaining its quality in a controlled environment.
CIP System (Clean-in-Place, Optional):
Automated cleaning system that circulates cleaning solutions through the filters, RO membranes, and other components without disassembly.
Fully Automated 3-in-1 Water Filling Machine
This integrated water filling machine combines rinsing, filling, and capping in one compact system, significantly improving production efficiency and hygiene standards. It's ideal for PET bottled water lines ranging from 200ml to 2L capacities.
Cap Elevator
The cap elevator ensures a continuous and automated supply of bottle caps to the capping head. It works seamlessly with the production line to reduce manual labor and ensure high-speed capping accuracy.
Online Cap Sterilizer (Optional)
For enhanced hygiene, the optional cap sterilization unit uses UV or ozone treatment to sanitize bottle caps in real time before capping. This is especially recommended for high-purity or mineral water lines.
Bottle Rinse Water Recovery System (Optional)
To promote water conservation and reduce operating costs, an optional rinse water recycling system can be integrated. After bottles are rinsed, the used water is collected, filtered, and either reused for pre-rinsing cycles or redirected for non-critical cleaning applications within the facility. This system aligns with eco-friendly production goals and sustainable manufacturing practices.

Automatic Label Applicators (OPP, Shrink Sleeve, Sticker)
OPP (Oriented Polypropylene): Uses hot-melt glue to apply wrap-around plastic labels, ideal for high-volume water bottle labeling due to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
Shrink Sleeve: Applies a heat-shrinkable plastic sleeve that conforms tightly to the container’s shape, covering the entire surface or specific areas (e.g., tamper-evident bands). Suitable for visually appealing, 360-degree labeling on water bottles.
Sticker (Pressure-Sensitive Labels): Applies self-adhesive labels with precision to flat or curved surfaces, commonly used for front/back labels or nutritional information.
our for some models like Primera’s AP380 or 82,000 bottles/hour for advanced systems).
Laser Printer (Production/Expiry Date)
Uses laser technology (e.g., CO2 or fiber laser printers) to mark or engrave variable data such as production dates, expiry dates, batch numbers, or barcodes directly onto packaging materials (plastic bottles, caps, or labels).
Shrink Wrapping Machine
Wraps individual or grouped products (e.g., water bottle packs) in heat-shrinkable plastic film, which is then heated to tightly conform to the product shape using a heat tunnel or steam (e.g., Zap Labeler’s ZLSS Shrink Sleeve Packaging Machine).
Carton Boxing Machine
Automatically erects, fills, and seals cardboard cartons with individual or grouped products (e.g., water bottles or shrink-wrapped packs). Machines like those from PMMI suppliers can handle various carton sizes and integrate with labeling systems for secondary packaging.
Palletizer System
Automatically stacks cartons or shrink-wrapped packs onto pallets in a stable, organized manner.
Water must meet GSO (Gulf Standards Organization) criteria and undergo regular lab testing.
